Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's order mandating the Dental Council of India to approve the admission of 100 students to a Dental College established by the Subharti K.K.B. Charitable Trust, as per the guidelines set forth by the Dental Council. The Court found that the Trust met all necessary criteria for a 100-student intake, and the Council's decision to limit admissions to 60 was arbitrary and lacked justification. Consequently, the Court issued a mandamus to the Dental Council to allow the admission of 100 students, thereby affirming the High Court's ruling.
